Quick facts:Pioneer
The Consolidated Outland Pioneer is an upcoming self-contained mobile construction yard capable of creating planetary modular structures, allowing colonists to customize their new homes on the frontier.[1] Utilizing an on-board reserve of resources, the Pioneer can construct and deploy modular outposts as well as continue to build additional modules to turn your outpost into a settlement.[2][3]
Features
The Pioneer houses a fully-functioning production line within its hull capable of constructing a custom outpost.[3]

Lore
- Development of a new ship:
After the success of Consolidated Outland's first ship, Mustang in 2944, Silas Koerner wanted to disrupt Humanity by leading the company to strike out in a bold new direction and began developing an expedition vessel that is significantly different from its predecessor. Instead of simply constructing a ship to fly to new worlds, Silas and his team dreamt of a craft that would help build them. Using the advanced ship manufacturing plants they had constructed on Bremen as their inspiration, the Consolidated Outland design team managed to house an entire automated fabrication plant inside the hull of the Pioneer.[4]
- Offical Unveil:
In 2947, the company unveiled the Pioneer. For the first time ever, colonists can custom manufacture outposts onsite to their own exacting specifications, stock their new home with supplies, and defend it with just one single vessel. Colonization used to take a corporation could now be done by a few individuals.[4] The initial batch of Pioneers also include a single Claim License from UEE Planetary Development Bureau for commercial or private construction that allows the owner to officially own a piece of the UEE and enjoy its protection.[3]

Development
- Original concept: The Pioneer originated from the idea of Stake your Claim, based on the land settlement that happened in the States & Canada in 1889. Ships at that time are built to go and settle unknown lands. Since procedural planets create a huge play area that needs to be filled, it was a good idea to let citizens fill it. On top of that, CIG needed to establish two ends of a spectrum for habitation, from cities (like Area 18) to villages to outposts.[7]
Trivia
- The ship was referred as a "game changer" before its announcement in CitizenCon 2947.
- The livery of the ship resembles the style of Kushan ships in Homeworld.
- The Pioneer's landing mode is inspired by the base in Command and Conquer series.[8]
